If this is not possible can someone guide me on how I can get free VPS to install discourse?  
Because I don’t have an initial investment for my site.

You can’t get a forever free VPS that’s reasonable enough to run discourse community however, Digitalocean has a 60 days $100 trial which is enough to get you going for first 2 months:

> [https://blogs.oracle.com/developers/install-run-discourse-for-free-in-the-oracle-cloud](https://blogs.oracle.com/developers/install-run-discourse-for-free-in-the-oracle-cloud) This blog post is from last year. I didn’t see any mention here; I think Oracle as a hosting company is off the radar for most people. So, before I posted I decided to try it myself to see if it’s really viable. I created a demo site: [https://www.opendiscussion.pw](https://www.opendiscussion.pw) I signed up for an account on Oracle Cloud. It said it would take 15 minutes to validate the account but I had to wait two days because of a pro…

It’s not a big VPS, but it’s big enough to run a small Discourse site. Some people have had trouble getting their account activated, but after that it works.

I don’t think a host exists that gives away VPSes for free without verifying the users. You’ll probably have to look elsewhere for an answer.
